Responsibilities and Requirements

Due to the different requirements and methodologies used by AVSI, the specific tasks for the Volunteers might vary slightly across projects, but those generally may consist of:

· Attend trainings on data collection tools and methodologies.

· Travel to project location, if required (transportation to be provided by AVSI).

· Calling or meeting beneficiaries to interview them on pre-set surveys provided by the MEAL team (SIM cards, data/call bundles to be provided by AVSI).

· Fill the aforementioned surveys using digital tools such as Activity Info or Kobo Toolbox to record the data on AVSI servers.

· Calling or meeting beneficiaries to conduct Key Informant Interviews (KII) with scripts provided by the MEAL team.

· Write transcriptions and notes in Arabic and/or English for aforementioned KII.

· Verify and cross-check data for errors before submission.

· Safeguard sensitive information and maintain confidentiality.

· Provide daily updates to the MEAL team on ongoing data collection activities.

Daily requirements (minimum number of calls and\or interviews to be considered as a day work) will be set for each project with the MEAL team and tracked using Digital Timesheet and data submissions.
